Description

Burst! Abstract Painting After 1945 looks at the close, but previously unexplored relationship between Abstract Expressionism and Art Informel.

Through texts and close to 100 illustrations, the book describes a vital creative exchange across the Atlantic that would entirely redefine painting.

Big, expansive, paint-splattered surfaces; spontaneous actions captured on canvas; new ideas of freedom.

A story of post-war recovery and Transatlantic dialogue.

On both sides of the ocean, society was reacting to the horrors of the Second World War, the Holocaust and the coming of the atom bomb.

The book shows how artists searched for new ways to deal with these shattering events.

With works by Jean Dubuffet, Natalia Dumitresco, Helen Frankenthaler, Asger Jorn, Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Sam Francis, Joan Mitchell, Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Barnett Newman, Georges Mathieu, Hedda Sterne and Clyfford Still, and more.
